I really need some help with Ghost 15. I back up using ghost every night to a desktop usb drive. Once every week or two I'll do a one time image to a different USB desktop drive. I didn't realize I had any problems until I tried to apply an image to a new drive last night.
I've had the drive installed for a few weeks waiting for a good time to work on it. Samsung 830, no drive letter assigned, all unallocated space. My plan was to make an image of my programs drive, which I will call F. It's on a different physical disk than my Win7 64 bit install on my C:/ drive. So last night I made an image of my F drive. After that I changed the drive letter of that partition to Z. Shut the computer down, rebooted using my SRD. Not only was my usb drive that I had made the F drive image on last night not showing up as a source, but neither were any of my other USB drives. In addition to that my new Samsung 830 was not showing up as a target. So all this time I've been backing up to a USB drive attached to the motherboard and the Ghost program on the SRD doesn't show ANY usb drives.
So, awhile ago I tried two different things in windows 7. i tried copying my F drive to the new drive - it failed during the copy. So next I was going to try to just appy the image I had made last night to the new drive through Ghost in windows. I am able to find the image I made, but there is not option to select which drive I want to apply the image to. It just wants to apply the image with no option to select which drive to apply the image to.
So, next I tried using a regular image that I make every night to see if I would be given options. When I select my regular backup it asks me for a password. I have not passwords set. It says "system reserved drive..... is password protected" The only password protection I have is on boot and that password doesn't work.
Basically i've got a backup system that is worthless unless someone can help me figure this mess out. Thankfully I also backup using a different program and also do regular copy backups on my data.
HELP!!
